The Single Biggest Problem in Web Development Is…

… Remembering to update the page. Was asked today to take on additional web management duties at DSU (We’re making a push to have up-to-date contact information for everyone). Not a big deal – the contact system is very functional and takes very little time to update. It’s a push to de-centralize updating it, which makes a lot of sense, as long as people are on board. It is hard to find an organization with a “vibrant” web page that has decentralized administration of that page. Yet it’s even harder to find a large organization that can devote people solely to web updating. The classic conundrum: updating web pages tends to be a NIMBY issue (not in my back yard!) Everyone agrees it needs to be done, no one likes to do it. Hopefully as the bar gets lower and lower in terms of ‘hassle’ (i.e. modern CMS’s do a great job of making it easy to publish / update things), we’ll get rid of the 3 year old webpages that should have been updated last month.

When Karey64 was a little Karey64, she had a stuffed elephant named Pinky, who eventually became threadbare and went to the great beyond where cherished stuffed animals go. One of my goals in learning to knit was to help bring Pinky back, after years of searching for the perfect stuffed elephant. Happy to say that Karey64 and Pinky have now been reunited!

At the request of Pinky’s new BFF, Karey, I added a short I-cord tail with fringe.
